UBEREats couriers strike for Living Wage

Black Swan Yard, London. Fri 26 Aug 2016


   
  Imran Siddiqui, one of the leaders of the strike who has been victimised by Uber

 

Imran shows the screen where he has been locked out of the Uber app for his part in organising the protest and strike

 This means he can get no work from Uber - sacked without notice on-line

 

 A member of the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain - Couriers and Logistics branch gives advice to the

 Uber drivers - who are supported by the United Voices of the World

 

 

  A vote agrees a delegationn can go in to talk to Uber management
 
 

 

 

But management refused to talk with the delegation, trying to deal with them on an individual basis so they could
threaten them with terminating their employment. The drivers left and outside agreed to picket the cafes requesting
deliveries and try to get other drivers to join their protest.
